What’s Actually Included with Your Stay at Sandals All-Inclusive Resort?

The term all-inclusive gets used a lot in the world of vacationing, but it doesn’t always mean what you might expect. Many resorts advertise themselves as all-inclusive, yet leave out important details—something I’ve personally discovered through my own travels. To help you avoid any surprises, I like to provide clear and honest information about what you can truly expect.

One of the most common questions I receive is: “What exactly is included at Sandals?” To make it easy, I’ve put together this quick and helpful guide:

❓ What’s Not Included at Sandals?

The good news? The list is short!

• While spa amenities are complimentary, services like massages, facials, and specialty treatments come at an additional cost.
Off-site excursions such as sightseeing tours, hiking the Pitons in St. Lucia, or zip-lining in Jamaica are not included.
• Select premium wines from the Manager’s Wine List are also available for purchase.
• While airport transfers are included, the drivers are not Sandals employees, so I recommend tipping them.
• If you have a butler, I highly recommend tipping them based on their level of service.
